French term or phrase: Vous et votre employeur \'souhaitez\' que votre expérience soit productive
Donc, dans la phrase:

comment on articule le verbe "souhaiter"?
Pour moi "vous et votre employeur" me renvoie a la deuxième personne pluriel, donc toujours a "vous".
Qu'en dites-vous?

Votre proposition est correcte. Il s'agit d'un vouvoiement collectif.

Explanation:
moi et l'autre (ou les autres) = nous.

toi (ou vous de politesse) et l'autre (ou les autres) = vous, donc "souhaitez" à la 2e personne du pluriel du verbe "souhaiter".

il (ou elle) et l'autre (ou les autres) = ils/elles/eux.
